Help... Next xmas sale

minimoneysaver

I really hope that someone can help me. I have stupidly booked a holiday on the 19th of December for a long weekend. I usually get a VIP invite and really hope that someone is going to tell me that the date is before my little jolly!

Please tell me you're joking!

You can afford an Xmas holiday and you're asking for money-off help in the Next sale??

:rolleyes:

The Xmas sale has never been before Christmas. It is usually the 27th (the day after boxing day)!

Yes, I can afford a holiday. That is because I take money saving seriously and save where I can, so I can take my little girl on a well deserved trip.

To be honest, I find your comment rather rude.

When you have been on here longer, you will find that the Next VIP invites for internet orders are done before Christmas and not after. Hopefully someone sensible will come along soon and help me out.

I've found out the answer. I trawled through my old emails and found the invite.

I love the Next sales. I normally find out that the invites have gone out by checking on here, before I have even received my own email.
It still lets you register and I have managed to get early slots.
Wghat date did Next send that email to you minimoneysaver as I will look out for it.

Hope you have a good holiday, we have just returned from a short break to Alton Towers, I am still tired with all the walking.

Hello,

This is my first post, so please be gentle.

How do you get to become a NEXT VIP?.

I have had an account for about year and i always shop instore in the sales.

Do you have to be referred by another VIP as in the way that GAP do it?.

Any advice appreciated

Hi Winne & Bluenose
I seemed to get the vip invites without asking for it, but I do tend to order quite a bit from the directory. I think a couple of people on here have contacted Next in the past. Not quite sure what the outcome was though. I know that Next have changed the way that they do the internet vip invites as the codes kept on being released early. Maybe if you call and ask them?
Good luck.
P.S. If it turns out you need a referral, I'll be happy to do it for you.
